I'm Back (Again - LOL!)

 Good Morning and Welcome back to Bathroom Blues Travel Blog.

In my last post I mentioned I was going to Daytona Beach, FL for NCA/NDA College National competition. My son is the Dance Director and Choreographer for Stephen F. Austin State University and his teams participated in 4 competions. Well, we brought home a Gold (1st place - National Championship - His 19th and SFA's 24th); a Silver (2nd place) and two 4th place in their division! 

I am SO excited for and proud of him, his teams and his/their accomplishments.

My daughter and I drove there on the 8th and back home on the 12th - a 12-14 hr. trip but it was worth it to be in all that great energy.

While on the road we stopped at Nonc Kev's Specialty Meats in Rayne, LA for a bathroom break and to grab a coffee. I'd never been there before and let me tell you, I was well-pleased with the condition of the restroom! It was really nice and clean and you know that had me singing a happy tune for miles. If you're ever on a roadtrip through SWLA, check 'em out.

Our next stop was a Petro TA in Hammond, LA and it was really nice as well (as ALL large truck stops should be!)

Of course we made a couple more times on the way but I didn't pay much attention to the restrooms. By the time we did, we were already on the slippery slope of exhaustion so I just carried my handy disinfectant wipes and took care of business.

On the way home, our first major stop was a Rest Area just west of Tallahassee, FL on Interstate 10, which had Seat Covers which made my heart sing. It too, was very clean - again - as they ALL should be. IMHO of course 😉

But my favorite stop of all on this trip was at the Burger King on SR 181 in Spanish Fort, AL. The young man who waited on us was very friendly and personable and just a plain joy to converser with! I didn't get his name because they were getting really busy and we were in a hurry, but I hope he's there the next time we go through.

Now, as for the restrooms at the event - NCA/NDA made sure those in the Ocean Center were as clean as humanly possible for as many athletes and spectators went through there. Seemed like every time I went, a custodian was busy wiping counters, mopping floors or cleaning stalls. Regardless, I still carried my wipes... too many butts on a seat for me LOL!

Well Friends, that's it for today. I hope you'll check back regularly for more travel fun.

Until next time - Be Safe!

Happy Easter & Update...

I love this photo as, (for me), it depicts the beauty of the Resurrection poignantly.

Posting to this blog has fallen by the wayside due to the release of my new book, Giving on Purpose How 30 Days of Conscious Giving can Change Your Life, taxes, the 40 Days of Ho'oponopono prayer videos I've been posting on my Coaching in PJs™ YouTube Channel, and me having too many irons in the fire as usual.

I'm hoping to get back into a regular routine within the next couple of weeks.

I'm doing as little as possible over the Easter weekend and then traveling to Daytona Beach, FL for NDA Collegiate Cheer & Dance Competition next week, so look for a new post sometime after that.

When we do return, watch for guest posts, travel-related books and articles, and a whole lot more than just my travels!

Meanwhile, Thank YOU for your continued love and support of this blog as well as my other endeavors.

Until next time, take care, God Bless and have a Happy & Blessed Easter Celebration!

2025 Summer Vacation: Red Rock RV Park in Island Park, Idaho

Good Morning Friends,

There's been a LOT going on, (a new book releasing and tax season) therefore, I've fallen a little behind but hoping to get back on track here on Bathroom Blues travel blog. 

We left Salt Lake City on July 12th heading to Yellowstone National Park but our home for the few days we're visiting was Red Rock Rv Park in Island Park, Idaho.

This huge resort is located just 22 miles from Yellowstone and is absolutely stunning. I did not go into the bathrooms there because we had full hookups for the camper, but if the beauty of the rest of the park is any indication, they too were stunning.

What was SO cool was on our way to Red Rock, we stopped at a couple of pitt stop bathrooms along the way. These are not full rest areas, but glorified portapotties BUT they had plenty of paper and hand sanitizer which always has me singing a happy tune. 😉

Another cool thing happened along the way. I was reading a book called Thank and Grow Rich by Pam Grout and in one of the chapters, she talked about seeing birds as signs from God. We had pulled over to let the dog out for a pee break and I saw this beauty...

This isn't the first time I've received signs from God. You can read about them on my spiritual blog, HERE and HERE and HERE.

Anyway, back to our travels!

Yellowstone is SO vast, it will take a few posts to share everything with you but for now, if you're heading in that direction and looking for a great place to stay, check out Red Rock RV Park in Island Park, ID!

Until next time, travel safe!
